There's a Monster Under my Bed


By Isaiah C. Basye





There's a monster under my bed
Despite what my mom had said.
I want to be ready incase
He pokes out his head.

I worked to set up some plans:
One bear trap, trip wire strands
And a long tight line of
Clanking cans.

A box to sit and wait
For him to take the bait.
Last of all he’ll slip and fall
On each and every skate.

Security cameras will cause it
To be caught on film as I pause it.
Oh wait, it’s too late
I think he’s in the closet.
